 Aww, what a lovely book this is. It’s one of my favorites. The Fairiest Fairy by Anne Booth tells the tale of Betty, a sweet albeit clumsy fairy. “Betty was a fairy who just never got things right. She was always in a muddle though she tried with all her might.” This story is adorable and super fun to read aloud because it is written in rhyme. The illustrations are colorful and the fairies resemble little kids, making Betty relatable to small children. (Buy it here). Here’s what it’s all about… Betty goes to Fairy school and tries her best at all the new lessons Miss Petal is trying to teach her. But she just can’t get anything right. All the other fairies are exceling at their lessons, but Betty keeps failing. Unbeknownst the Betty, she is actually good at something after all. She is a star when it comes to helping out animals who are in need of assistance. Then, when it’s time for the King and Queen to choose a student to attend the Fairy Ball, Betty is sure she will never be chosen. That’s when her animal friends come back and repay the favor. Rabbit helps Betty scatter dew drops while he hops. Blackbird helps Betty whistle a tune just like a bird. Butterfly helps Betty paint a rainbow as beautiful and bright as the colors on his wings. To everyone’s surprise, King and Queen choose Betty because “you’ve shown us how to be a friend, and proved that helping others is what matters in the end.” Betty is the fairiest fairy of them all, for she is chosen as the special guest to attend the ball. And now for some fun of my own. Where would Betty live? What is the door she flutters through every night? I imagine this one suits her perfectly.
